Riding was a passion of his and he was always so happy to be doing it. He not only rode, but he enjoyed building them as well.

The one thing he enjoyed the most was hanging around his pride and joy, his four-legged son Jethro.
As the family, we would like to say thank you to everyone who called, messaged, came to visit, and prayed. We appreciate everything everyone did. Donnie knew where he was going and was ready. He went with loved one’s hand in hand and couldn’t have left this world in a better way.
